FALLING

FALLING

With no one to trust, my hands start to rust;
Everywhere I look, I find guilt, murder, hatred, & lust.
Waiting for a savior to rescue me before I drown;
Looking up leaves an empty sky so I look down.
Happiness fills others lives, but leaves me thirsty;
I want to be happy, but I fall & it hurts me.
Faking smiles & crying inside;
I'm reaching out for someone to confide.
I trust too much & I die a little more;
If I have a heart, what is it for?
I tried to give, but all they do is take;
Acting real when you're completely fake.
Tears of pain & sorrow fall down my face;
I once had friends, but now there's no trace.
Starting over from scratch, I fear the end;
This isn't what I wanted. Not what I planned.
I'm just so tired & I don't want to fight;
Nothing works out how I want & I feel it's not right.
This world is cold & it can shatter your soul;
You can have everything & it'll leave a gaping hole.
Nowhere to turn & scared of what I'll see;
Opening my eyes, they stand in front of me.
I scream for safety, but silence befalls my voice;
Crouching down on my knees, I have no choice.
I stand up to face my demons within;
I can't lose this fight, I have to win.
